Bouts of rain, wind to dampen UK on Monday

March 19,2017, 11:30:50AM,EDT

Bouts of unsettled weather will continue to target the United Kingdom into at least Monday.
Following
bouts of wind and rain the past few days, a new depression will swing
across the U.K. on Monday, bringing additional rain and wind.
The
strongest wind gusts will target northern and western Britain. While
much of the U.K. will have showery periods, the most prolonged rainy
spells will be reserved for western Scotland, Wales and the south of
England.

The most likely area to remain dry on
Monday will be across northeast England and southeast Scotland.
Aberdeen, Dundee and Middlesbrough are among areas that will be largely
dry with bright or sunny periods.
Across southern Britain, from
Cardiff to London, several hours of rain will lead to a wet morning and
afternoon. Towards evening, drier weather will gradually make a return
as a cold front clears to the east.
Gusty winds generally on the
order of 35-45 mph (56-72 km/h) will accompany the rain. However, there
can be gusts of 55-65 mph (88-105 km/h) at coastal and exposed areas of
western Scotland.RELATED:United Kingdom weather centerUnited Kingdom interactive radarFrom rainbows to fogbows: How do these unique phenomena form?
While Monday will not be as warm as
Sunday across southern Britain, temperatures will remain rather mild
with highs ranging from 12-14 C (54-57 F). Highs around 10 C (50 F) are
more common this time of year.
A gusty breeze, however, will blow to create slightly lower AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures.
Cooler
air will make a more southward progress with Monday’s system, sweeping
away the weekend warmth and bringing temperatures closer to normal by
Tuesday.
The U.K. may remain unsettled through at least midweek, but a drier weather pattern should unfold for next weekend.
